Context
Over half the population affected
Tropical Cyclone Pam has been described as the strongest cyclone in the Pacific in more than a
decade. The cyclone ravaged Vanuatu, battering the country with winds over 250 kph, and 1 meter
high storm surges. Neighboring Pacific Island countries, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu were
also impacted by the storm. To date, the number of total fatalities due to Cyclone Pam is 11. While
the impact of the cyclone resulted in a limited number of casualties, the number of injuries presenting
at health facilities are significant, and they growing during the second week of the response.
Severe damage to health system
The cyclone has affected over 158 000 of Vanuatu’s population, representing more than half of the
total population of the country, causing widespread and severe damage throughout the country,
particularly in the central and southern regions, which experienced the brunt of the storm. Over
3,000 people were displaced from their homes in the
capital Vila alone, some are gradually going back
home, however, a large number of people remain
without a home, displaced in either evacuation
centres and/or hosted in communities.
The impact of the cyclone on the health system has
been huge. One major consequence is the severe
disruption of health service delivery, mainly due to
damaged
health
facilities,
interruption
of
telecommunications, road and sea transportation, and
the disruption of water and energy supplies.
Damage assessments to health facilities are ongoing.
With telecommunications coming back online Of the 41 health facilities assessed, 30 are damaged.
We expect more than 30 health facilities will require reconstruction/rehabilitation once all
assessments are completed.
Public Health Risks
Communicable Diseases
Measles: Measles outbreaks are common following natural disasters due to displaced populations,
overcrowding and interruption to routine vaccination schedule. In 2013, measles vaccination
coverage in Vanuatu was estimated to be 53% in the under-five year age group. There have been two
outbreaks of measles in Vanuatu in the past year (on Efate). Although catch-up vaccination
campaigns were conducted in 2014, measles confirmed cases continue to be reported in Port Vila,
while suspected cases are reported from Santos, and Tanna. The risk of a measles outbreak is high.
Respiratory infections: It is estimated that 11% of deaths each year in children <5 years in Vanuatu
are caused by pneumonia. Re-establishment of health infrastructure for early detection and
treatment of suspect pneumonia, and the capacities of secondary level of care to treat the cases of
severe pneumonia will reduce the related mortality.
3
Diarrhoeal disease: Large post-disaster outbreaks of diarrhoea have been documented in the
Pacific, such as after flooding in the Solomon Islands in 2014. Children are particularly vulnerable.
Safe water and food, along with appropriate sanitation and hygiene, will reduce the risk of diarrhoeal
disease outbreaks.
Leptospirosis: Leptospirosis currently occurs on a sporadic basis in Vanuatu. Outbreaks of
Leptospirosis commonly occur following flooding events, and situations in which people are crowded
in areas where rodents may also live. One death from suspected leptospirosis was reported from the
Vanuatu Central Hospital at the time of the cyclone; in this case, leptospirosis would have been
contracted prior to the cyclone.
Vector-borne disease (VBD): Vector-borne disease (VBD) outbreaks, such as dengue, chikungunya,
Zika or malaria are more likely in post-disaster situations. Malaria is endemic in most islands in
Vanuatu, which has an overall Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of 13.2 per 1,000 (2012).
Transmission is generally higher in the northern provinces, which generally report higher API (API
of 38.2 was reported on Torba, and 20-21 per 1,000 was reported in Malampa, Penama and Sanma
in 2012) than the southern provinces (API of 4.7 per 1,000 in Shefa and 0.4 per 1,000 in Tafea in
2012).
Other Health Concerns
Nutrition: While the pre emergency levels of wasting are low, cases of severe wasting are likely to
increase due to the compromised food, water and health systems. In particular, the destruction of
food crops has significant implications for nutrition over the coming year, until food stocks are
restored. Protection and promotion of breastfeeding and adequate complementary feeding is
essential to ensure that women are able to continue breastfeeding under stressful conditions and
young children receive nutritious foods for critical growth and development.
The most urgent needs for nutrition are to protect and promote breastfeeding; identify and treat
children who are severely wasted, deliver communication on child and maternal nutrition in
emergencies and to ensure that the food ration is nutritionally adequate and accessible by children
and pregnant and lactating women. After the immediate emergency phase, micronutrients for
children 6-59 months will be distributed.
Maternal and Child Health: As a result of the cyclone, destruction of health facilities has limited
access to reproductive health services, including maternal health services and response to genderbased violence. Based on the MISP calculator and 2013 DHS and 2009 census data of the four most
affected provinces, and the Vanuatu National Survey on Women’s Lives and Family Relationships,
priority areas of lifesaving assistance have been identified:
•
Women of reproductive age = 56,147
•
Estimate of currently pregnant women = 6,738
•
Estimate of women who may experience pregnancy related complications in the next
month = 100
•
Estimate of women who may experience pregnancy related complications in the next
9 months = 900
•
GBV figures are best estimated from the VAW prevalence studies. Recent violence
against women prevalence data shows 60 per cent of women experience physical and sexual
violence committed by an intimate partner in their lifetime and 48 per cent of women and
girls aged 15 and above experience physical and/or sexual violence committed by a nonpartner. A further 30 per cent of girls below the age of 15 years, experience sexual abuse, with
more than one in four women (28 per cent) reporting that their first sexual experience was
forced.

Health Sector Priorities and initial response
1. HEALTH FACILITY ASSESSMENTS: The health facilities’ assessment in the affected areas is led by
the MoH with support from all health cluster partners engaged in the response. The Health Cluster is
involved with the established Infrastructure working group, conducting damage assessments of all
health facilities and has provided teams to assess the extent of repairs/public works required. To
ensure consistency, a tool was developed for health cluster partners to use in order to reflect the level
of damage health facilities. To date, over 41 HFs have been officially assessed, of this, 30 HFs are
damaged to varying degrees.
2. RESTOCKING OF MEDICINES AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES: The immediate push – dispatch of
routine medical supplies to provincial health offices by the Central Medical Store (CMS) is being
complemented by the allocation of Inter Agency Emergency Health Kits to the most affected areas.
With communication to provincial Offices and individual health facilities it will become easier to
respond to gaps and identify low stocks.
3. DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE: The aftermath of natural disasters often result in
disease outbreaks due to overcrowding in evacuation centres, and lack of water and sanitation to the
affected/displaced population. 16 sentinel sites are being established in addition to the 8 already
existing ones to monitor the public health situation. In addition event based surveillance is taking
place in evacuation centres and at all functioning health facilities.
4. MEDICAL EVACUATIONS: 48 medical evacuations took place since the onset.
5. URGENT REPAIRS TO HEALTH FACILITIES:
Cyclone Pam left a path of destruction including damaging health infrastructure in 4 Provinces.
Urgent repairs on health facilities will be a priority for the coming weeks and months. There are 70
health facilities on islands affected by cyclone Pam, excluding aid posts. Assessments have been
conducted in 41 facilities (table 1), the remaining assessments will be available in the next few days
when teams return from the field. Of the 41 facilities that have been assessed there were 11 facilities
that have very severe damage and severe facilities with severe damage (table 2). Limited damage
was reported in 19 facilities and there was no damage reported from 11 facilities. All assessed health
facilities remain operational except for five; Imere, Teiwaikara (Efate), Amboh (Tongariki), Tavalapa
(Tongoa) and Kitow (Tanna). Foreign medical teams are providing primary health care in Tongoa,
and Tongariki where all existing health facilities are severely or very severely damaged.
Tanna has 4 health facilities reported as being severely or very severely damaged: Ikiti dispensary
and Kitow health centre (very severe), and Lenekal hospital and Greenhill health centre (severe).
With the exception of Kitow these facilities are still functioning. Foreign medical teams are
supporting health care delivery in Tanna.

INITIAL RESPONSE:
Ministry of Health:
WHO is working with the Vanuatu Ministry of Health to co-chair the Health Cluster, bringing together
multiple health partners including foreign governments, NGOs and UN agencies in a coordinated
response to this Grade 2 Emergency. Frequent meetings are taking place in Vila to ensure all health
partners are informed and the response is well integrated in the overall humanitarian response to
Cyclone Pam. Sub-working groups have been established to coordinate public health matters,
nutrition, Information, Education and Communication activities and reproductive health.
The MoH and AUSMAT, with support from Foreign Medical Teams (FMTs) and the military, have
assisted with the medical evacuation of 48 people requiring tertiary medical care of which 16
patients were ≤ 5 years and 32 patients were ≥ 5 years. The routine referral system is currently
hampered by a lack of functioning health facilities in affected areas, limitations in communication
networks, and lack of access and availability of transport. There are an estimated 100 more
emergency medical evacuations that may take place over the course of the coming days and weeks.
International Organization for Migration (IOM) is supporting the MoH in the repatriation of referred
patients at the end of their treatment.

Total Number of Medivacs per location
The average daily number of patients treated to the trauma clinic of VCH increased to more than 70
per day, this number is not expected to decrease soon, most of the patients are presenting with
untreated and infected wounds.
The Ministry of Health is leading the implementation of measles vaccination campaigns in Shefa and
Tafea Provinces as well as on Santo Island where cases of measles have been reported at the
beginning of the year.
Mosquito nets are being distributed in Efate and further distributions are planned in the affected
areas to replace damaged nets.
Foreign Medical Teams (FMTs):
A total of 13 foreign medical teams (FMT) are supporting the MoH in the emergency response, 2 more
FMTs are finalizing registration and will be deployed in priority areas immediately after. The
coordination of those is strongly supported by AUSMAT. Some of the early arriving FMT’s are
approaching the end of their presence in Vanuatu while others are coming in, able to bridge the gaps.
The departure of FMTs is of great concern as a drop in health care service provision must be expected
while the demand for health care is expected to remain high and the existing health services will
require time to recuperate from the disaster.

World Health Organization (WHO):
To support the MoH and the WHO Country Office, WHO deployed 1 Regional Adviser on Disaster
Response Management, 1 Health Cluster Coordinator, 2 Risk communication officers, 4
epidemiologists, 1 administrative assistant and 1 logistician to support response efforts
WHO established a forward post in Lenakel, Tanna Island, to support the MoH Health Cluster's
response activities on the Island. Current health activities that the clusters Tanna-based forward post
is supporting include:





the establishment of Early Warning Alert and Response Network (EWARN) sites of Lenakel
Hospital, Whitesands Health Facility and Green Hills Health Facility
micro-planning and (next week) implementation of a measles vaccination, Vit A supplementation
and deworming campaign for 0.5 to 5 year olds
receipt, stock management and distribution of International Emergency Health Kit's contents
(primarily essential medicines) to health facilities across the island
support of community-based health risk communication messaging through networks of chiefs,
churches, youth and women’s groups
coordination and provision of Provincial Health Department transportation and logistics
function.
WHO through the government of the Solomon Islands provided 5 Inter-Agency Emergency Health
Kits (IEHK) and 3 Inter-Agency Diarrhoeal Disease Kits (IDDK) which arrived 24 March. 2 full IEHKs
were sent to Tanna the same day, enough to provide primary and secondary health needs to 20 000
people for 3 months. These kits allow the continued provision of primary health care services.
Distribution of kits to the outer islands is scheduled to occur in the coming days.
8
The MoH, supported by WHO, have initiated an Early Warning Alert Response
Network (EWARN) in 24 sentinel sites in Vanuatu, 16 of which are already functioning. The EWARN
system is designed for the timely detection of outbreaks to allow for immediate investigation and
control and to prevent further disease spread. In addition event based surveillance (EBS) is being
conducted in evacuation centres and ultimately in all active health facilities. Clinicians, foreign
medical teams and NGOs were requested to report any unusual events to MOH and WHO. To date, 13
alerts have been received. Nine alerts were able to be verified. None were significant public health
events .Three children were referred to health facilities for assessment. We were unable to verify
four events as contact details were not available however foreign medical teams are on the islands
affected in the event there is a need for investigation.
Risk communication also falls under this priority and is currently taking place to mitigate the risk
of disease outbreaks. Public Health Messages have been disseminated via radio spots and print media
is frequently disseminating health and hygiene messages. Mass text messaging will start in the
coming weeks aiming to reach the population across the whole archipelago. A communications subgroup (also part of the HC) has been formed in order to streamline health messages among partners
to avoid duplication and contradiction in messaging. Already developed IEC materials, translation
capacity, access to existing local networks to facilitate community engagement and awareness for PH
messages.
Australian Medical Assistance Team (AUSMAT)
The AUSMAT team has been embedded at the Vila Central Hospital (VCH) From soon after the
emergency and supported the various technical wards alongside the hospital staff and strengthened
the hospitals capacity in the management of the crisis. AUSMAT provided additional 3 tents to
increase the surgical ward capacity. AUSMAT took the lead in supporting the MOH in coordinating
the incoming FMT’s and provided strong support in air medical evacuations.
Save the Children (STC):
STC is planning to support the vaccination campaign on Santo Island including vit. A, deworming, and
IYCF messaging. Micro-planning is ongoing with MoH, WHO and UNICEF in response to an outbreak
reported earlier this year on the island.
Save the children is assessing aid posts in Efate in order to provide support in their rehabilitation
and ensuring the village health worker network is being revitalized after the cyclone. STC staff was
trained on IYCFE to conduct community nutrition activities integrated with WASH.
World Vision International:
Planning to support the vaccination campaign on Tanna Island, micro-planning is ongoing with MoH,
WHO and UNICEF. Action to start next week.
UNICEF: The most urgent needs for nutrition are to protect and promote breastfeeding; identify and
treat children who are severely wasted, deliver communication on child and maternal nutrition in
emergencies and to ensure that the food ration is nutritionally adequate and accessible by children
and pregnant and lactating women. After the immediate emergency phase, micronutrients for
children 6-59 months will be distributed
UNFPA:
UNFPA is implementing both health and protection related sexual reproductive health and GBV
prevention and response, in coordination with Ministry of Health and key NGO partners.
9
The health response includes outreach, distribution of MISP RH kits and implementation of the MISP
package of services around maternal health and GBV response.
In addition, the protection response complements the health response in assisting referral of
survivors to healthcare to meet critical lifesaving needs especially in remote areas where access to
health services has been disrupted and community based organizations must be mobilized for
outreach to support referrals and response.
A group of NGOs including Save the Children and Medicine du Monde and CBO’s, under the Vanuatu
NGO network, VANGO, as well as youth and women’s groups that participate in the Protection and
Heath Clusters as well as long-time partners of UNFPA have been consulted around programming
interventions.
Future response: Priority Activities
o
Assess and monitoring health needs during the different phases of the response to the
disaster to inform planning of health interventions
o
Enhance coordination of international and national partners within and outside the health
sector
o
Deliver equitable and quality health services for acute and chronic conditions to all affected
population through temporary and permanent health facilities, and mobile teams, while
repairing, rebuilding, or relocating damaged health facilities
o
Deliver quality health services for obstetric and neonatal emergencies, family planning
antenatal and postnatal care, and adolescent reproductive health
o
Provide psychosocial support services and early detection and treatments of mental
disorders
o
Reinforce and expand early warning systems for detection, verification and response to
outbreaks
o
Provide targeted public health information, education and communication campaigns on
priority health issues
o
Re-establishment of routine immunization including cold chain capacity, and measles mass
immunization campaign in hot spot areas
o
Provide urgent nutrition support to treat and prevent deterioration of nutritional status
through delivery of infant and young child feeding support, treatment of severe acute
malnutrition and provision of micronutrients.
10
Health Challenges
Increased access to affected areas located in the most remote parts of the island is reflected by the
continued emergency medical evacuations of trauma patients still observed during the second week
of the response. Evidence of this is the increased influx of patients from the outer islands, presenting
at the Vila Central Hospital (VCH) trauma clinic at an average of over 70 patients daily.
Substantial damages on the health system had been identified and addressed during the first 2weeks
of the relief operations by the MoH with the support of Health Cluster partners, across the 6 priority
areas presented above. The contributions of the Foreign Medical Teams (FMTs) have been essential
, providing life-saving health services in the most affected areas. Some of these FMTs have signaled
their departure from the country only after 2 weeks since the tropical cyclone hit. At present, the
local health systems are not in a position to replace the FMTs in all affected areas in country.
New FMTs scheduled to replace those departing are critical to response efforts. The significant
decrease in the emergency clinical services at primary and secondary care levels in the most affected
and remote areas would detrimentally impact the already compromised national health system.
Ongoing health facility assessments will be concluded over next two days, providing with it an overall
picture of the level of structural damages to facilities. It important to note that damage to
infrastructure is only one component of overall health capacity and health service delivery. The
human resource limitations that characterize the national health workforce make it a challenge to
deal with the increased health needs of the affected population.
The deployment of the FMTs is an important but short-term solution. To ensure the rebuilding and
strengthening of the national health system, medium-term solutions must be identified and an
overall health sector strategic response plan developed in the next few days, with an implementation
timeframe over the next 6 to 9 months.
The early recovery element of the Health Sector Strategic Response Plan is critical. Recovery is an
opportunity for the country to not only restore its damaged health system but to , “build back better”
. Allowing pre-event health inequalities to be addressed while rebuilding local health systems and
supporting the Provincial Health Offices in defining and implementing the provincial plans, in line
with the MoH decentralization policy presented in the National Health Sector Strategic Plan.
